First Farm Chores of 2026 ❄️ Winter Life at The 10 Acre Woods
In this first vlog of the year, Mark and Tara take you through a snowy winter morning on the farm. From feeding animals to checking water heaters, caring for baby chicks, and sharing updates on our rescued animals, this is real, unfiltered farm life in winter.
You’ll see:
Winter feeding routines for goats, sheep, ducks & chickens
Baby chicks hatching in the cold months
Why we use spinach, pumpkins, and melons as winter treats
How we keep water from freezing
Updates on Patunia, Tink, Barry, and the rest of the crew
A look at our solar system production in winter
A special nighttime animal clip at the end 🌙
